I think the iPad in conjunction with vessel system is great. I typically plot out auto route on IPad Navionics then do it manually on Garmin Blue Chart on iPad. I then sync the blue chart plot to the onboard Garmin and run both side by side. It’s interesting what inconsistencies you see between the two depending on the body of water you are on. You definitely get a better picture of what you are looking for and where. I am currently in process of trying to also link the iPad to other onboard systems as well. Seems like a nice redundancy to have. Anyway, I’m happy with it.
